(By Evelyn L*vin| \. . JEB Neighbors: VJ Day (unofficial) at Lily Lake? Well, it wasn't quiet, nor rowdy. Just the kind of exultant celebration that springs from deep down inside the hearts of folks. Tfevems, of course, were closed Most of the homes were dark and quiet.' But, here and there one saw lights and heard lota of laughter. Impromptu parties they were, with neighbors coming and going,' with or without invitation. One of these gatherings that had been planned ahead of time, but for a different reason, was the birthday ptfrty for Helen and Ed Lannes, Aug. 15 and 16. What a birthday present! For them and their guests, it will be a not to be forgotten occasion. Sitting down to a delicious roast chicken dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Larines were Mr. and Mrs. Mackey, Mr. and Mrs. Wauer, Mr. and Mrs. Gulyas, Mr. and Mrs. Wauer, Sr., and Mr. Sampson. Their birthdaycake was huge, with the candles arranged in V formation. After the , dinner they held open house for their neighbors until 4 a. m. All Mr. and J4rs. Lannes' birthdays cannot be yictory days, but we sincerely, hope they may all be as happy. ^ / Most remembered among the celefcrstion? will probably be the parade arraneed. costumed, and led by Alfred Seyfferth. Noting the neighboring children's home-made noise makers and fondness for marching in parades, he delved into his collection of priceless antiques and came up with several guns of civil war vintage, three flags, including one 216 feet square that had to be carried by ouite a few little girls, a big bass drum, his son's army uniform, and a large stuffed doll which was dressed as Hirohito and hung from a pole. Arline Svoboda contributed a horn that one of the boys could play and the Darade set out. From one end of Lily Lake to the other, they marched on the highway, then through the Lilymoor subdivision. Mrs. Wijas took snapshots of the children as they passed her place. They disbanded in the Seyfferth yard and rushed back to the Country club, where Mr. Seyfferth treated them ali to ice cream and ?oda pop. This is probably one of the earliest parades to take place after the surrender, since it was formed and marched within an hour after President Truman made the announcement.

A man has been sentenced to a long prison term, and a young woman is soon to become the mother of his child. He is willing, even anxious to marry her before he goes to the penitentiary. She, too, wants the social status that marriage gives, even at worst. This unhappy motherto- be is thinking rather of the chileTs welfare than her owrt.'She wants it to **have a name." The trial judge who has the convicted father under his control does not approve of a marriage, however. He believes that both the mother and baby would be more stigmatized by this connection with a felon 'urn they would be by openly admitting illegitimacy. Miss JNorris thinks that the judge is wrong. Both for the baby's and the mother s sake, even perhaps for the father's, these unfortunate people should be married, she believes. People will forget about the father's penal servitude faster than they will about a birth out of wedlock, says Miss Norris. "He ought to get« reprimand, m parole and a job; the ought to get a gold ring, and tkejr both ought to get a Small apartment By KATHLEEN NORRIS kHIS is the case of an unborn baby imNew Yo^k, whose father is abodt to begin a ten-year sentence at Sing Sing. The traby's mother and father ^re not married. The young mother wants to be married before her man goes to prison, because she believes that a' baby has a better chance in life when born in wedlock, even under these circumstances. Teddy, the father, is anxious to marry, too. But the judge said "no," and the matter is still in doubt; the girl has engaged a lawyer who thinks he can win his casetfor her. My verdict would be with the parents, in this case. According to the newspaper story I saw, the man is being punished for "snatching a handbag;" he would hardlyjbe given a 10-year sentence just for that in any American court, so there must be something more to it. If he only snatched a handbag, reprehensible as that is, and if she only was too generous in love, as so many girls are in these turbulent times, then it seems to me he ought to get a reprimand, a parole, and a job; she ought to get a gold ring, and they both ought to get a small Apartment, and eventually a baby, and settle down to ^sensible, self-controlled living like grown-up human beings. The Lesser Handicap. To have a felon for a father is indeed a handicap, but it is not in any way as serious a handicap as is illegitimacy. This shouldn't be so, but it is, unchangeably and ineradicably. Part of the reason is given by the prospective mother herself, who tells the court she wants her baby to have- a name--yes, rven though it's the name of a convict father. The very fact that she feels so, and all her woman friends feal so, means that while they may pity her, and deplore the circumstances of having a husband in Sing Sing, none of that pity will extend itself to the baby, or stretch on into the baby's life. His father will presently be free, and he and the mother will either get a divorce, or will go away and begin a new life together. Whichever they do, the baby doesn't suffer. Neighbors shift and change, newcomers don't know the story, nobody is too keenly interested. Nobody is ever going to look up the City Hall records and ascertain that this baby came a few months too soon. Even his father's sin can be lived down. So much for the felon's baby. With the illegitimate baby it is all different.' Firstly and lastly, and always his mother feels the blight upon him, and he feels a reflection of it. She may marry again, and have other children, for whom she will always entertain quite a different feeling; she will feel respect for their socially secure status, none for that of the first child. In many jlegal connections the illegitimate son will suffer injustices -- yes, they are injustices of course, but you can't change settled laws because they shame and hurt £nd cripple your child. , For example; a baby was born out of wedlock in my native city about 30 years ago. The mother was a girl of a good family, who refused to marry the father, who was pretty worthless. She. faced thp music, had her child, married again; her husband adopted the baby girl and gave him his name.

The use of kerosene or fuel oil to build the fire in the kitchen range is a dangerous practice and should be avoided. The :use of paper and kindling might tako p little longer, but lives are safer*..,, " ^ , Read the Want Ads '• '• ^ M i l l 1 11 mil u girls were born of this marriage, the little adopted one sharing their lives and believing herself one of them. Presently the man's stern old father died, leaving a handsome fortune to each of "my three granddaughters." Winifred, the adopted child, was then 18, a joyous, clever, popular girl whose life was i stricken down as if by death when she realized who and what she was. In that moment of revelation she seemed to lose not only father, but mother, and to lose herself, too, hex identity, her place in the sun. Safer With A Name. , The change in tar was so pitiful that something had^p be done about it, and applications were made to three fashionable eastern schools. No one of them would accept an illegitimate person as a student. Winifred had to learn this, too. Eventually she did go to college, then to Arizona for a year, and then to her grave. Old friends said sorrowfully then that she always had been delicate; always had had those, heavy chest colds. But a few of us knew why she died; it was of shame and despair. Any baby is Safer with a name, especially 'if his mother is desperately determined to give him that name. She feels it will be a rea! misfortune to him not to have it, and if she feels that way it will be. Her whole attitude toward him will be saner and more secure when she is married. And who knows what will happen then? The man may be paroled. The anchor that a wife and child represent may be the thing he needs to help him into an honorable career. In all prisons there are men -- hundreds of them, who have yielded -- like all the rest of us! --to a moment of weakness, and, unlike all the rest of us, have had to pay a cruel price lor it. The lawyer in this case says in a memorable phrase that his Client is neither the man noT the woman; his client is the unborn baby. That baby already has rights; his mother is wise to plead for them. i ;*'Is sleep a thing to dread ?• • ! !Yet sleeping you are dead,;; Till you Awake and rise, J jHere, orJ>eyond the skies."
